Nestled on a quiet street just off the bluff in University Park, this inviting Cape Cod Revival home blends classic 1940s charm with thoughtful modern updates. The main level features original oak hardwood floors and an abundance of natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

A spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, offering an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen includes modern cabinetry, quality appliances, and a well-designed layout complete with a cheerful breakfast nook and convenient side-door access to the driveway.

Also on the main level are two generously sized bedrooms—both with hardwood floors—and a full bathroom. One of the bedrooms, ideal for a home office or guest space, includes south-facing sliding doors that open to the backyard, offering excellent light and easy outdoor access.

The finished lower level provides impressive flexibility with a comfortable family room, two conforming bedrooms, and a full bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and dual vanity. This level is perfect for hosting guests, movie nights, or game-day gatherings. A fully permitted basement remodel, completed in 2014, added quality upgrades throughout, including new electrical wiring, PEX water lines with a recirculating hot water system, and a reliable hardwired security system. It even has a high-efficiency heat pump with A/C and the advanced feature of 3-zone independent climate control!  

Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom offers privacy and future potential, with plumbing roughed in and additional electrical circuits installed to allow for a future bathroom dormer.

The backyard is designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, with a covered patio, lush lawn, and a stunning magnolia tree that blooms with vibrant pink flowers in spring. A full fence offers privacy, while alley access in the rear allows for future development options. A deep driveway and detached garage ensure plenty of parking.

Located on the desirable east side of University Park, this home offers close proximity to the University of Portland, as well as easy access to the shops, restaurants, and cafes in Arbor Lodge and Cathedral Park. Several of Portland’s favorite grocery stores are just minutes away.
